Not sure when this started, as I'm not an IE
user, but when I click a drop-down box in a
form in IE8, it doesn't show. Instead I get the
notification bar telling me that a pop-up was
blocked.Note that there is no pop-up. For
example, the drop-downs on Google's
advanced search page do this. Also, my IE
pop-up blocker is turned off, there are no
toolbars installed, it still does this in no-add-
ons mode, and I've added the site to trusted
sites and dropped security to low, but the
problem persists.This isn't killer, but there's one site I have to
use for work that—gasp!—works best in IE.
And it uses a lot of drop-down menus.
lavascript, SWAG, possible it's being blocked by your firewall? Perhaps tell the site's OK?
HTH.

Thanks. No, not being blocked by the firewall. Another PC
connected to the same switch works fine.I'm not sure what you mean by "Perhaps tell the site's OK?"...
At first, I thought it was supposed to just be "Perhaps tell the
site, OK?" but judging by the possessive on "site's," it would
seem that OK is a noun, an acronym. But Googling has
turned up nothing, and I'm not coming up with much on my
own. Officiate of Knowledge? Organizational Kracken?Regardless, I can't tell anyone at any site, because it
happens on all sites that have drop-down lists.
lavascript, sorry 'bout that. I inadvertently omitted 'it'. 'Perhaps tell the site's OK' should have read 'Perhaps tellit the site's OK'. Guess that's one of the joys of old age (senility?).

OK... Well if you're talking about adding it to Trusted Sites, I've
done that, as mentioned above. No dice.
